Answer:
The
poem conveys the theme of the ironic beauty of melancholy over more positive feelings
such as joy, projected through the song of a highland girl. He writes
specifically about a real human tune heard in a pastoral background.
The poet hears the girl singing and finds the song really wonderful. Even
though he does not understand her song, he is struck by the beauty of her song
and admits that he carried it in his heart long after he couldn't actually hear
it anymore.
To an extent, this poem ponders the boundaries of
language, but praises the beauty of music and the spontaneous overflow of
powerful feelings that Wordsworth has identified at the heart of poetry.
